Embodiments described herein are generally related to a display assembly for a scope configured to attach to a weapon. In particular, some embodiments of the disclosure describe providing assistance in shooting a target. The assistance is provided by generating a ballistic solution and displaying the ballistic solution on an electronic display. The electronic display is configured such that a user is able to look at an ocular lens of the scope and the electronic display simultaneously and have a shot at the target by adjusting the position of the weapon according to the ballistic solutions displayed on the electronic display.

The presentation of the video helps a shooter to adapt to an appropriate shooting position on a battlefield to shoot the target with accuracy while considering environmental conditions, such as range to the target, wind speed, temperature, atmospheric pressure, elevation, cant, etc.

Referring to FIG. 1 illustrates a military environment 100 that includes elements for generating and assisting a shooter or a combat sniper to shoot a target. For example, the military environment is a simulation environment for training the combat sniper to shoot at the target at long ranges under different environmental conditions.

In the military environment 100, the combat snipers are entailed to work in close coordination with a spotter as part of a sniper team. The spotter provides protection and situational awareness for the sniper since the sniper must devote substantial energy and attention to positioning the weapon for an effective shot. The spotter uses the spotter equipment 140, which carries all the imperative programs and hardware configuration to receive data from the display assembly 120 and then display the data in a format, such that the spotter is able to understand and analyze the range to the target under different environmental conditions. After the analysis, the spotter then provides aiming information to the combat sniper via the communication network 130. The aiming information includes instructions to correctly orient the weapon 110 towards the target. In an example, the display assembly 120 is provided with cameras to relay live video feed to the spotter equipment 140 via the communication network 130. In another example, the display assembly 120 is connected with image sensors mounted on the weapon 110, to relay live video feed to the spotter equipment 140 via the communication network 130.

The display assembly 120 further comprises a coupling mechanism 404 configured to couple the mounting mechanism 402 to the tube 302 of the scope 300 when fielded. In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 402 is selected from a group consisting of a clasp, a clamp, a hook and loop fastener, a tie wrap, and a magnet. In some embodiments, the coupling mechanism 404 includes a bolt and a nut.

The display assembly 120 further comprises a housing 200 coupled to the attachment portion 400. The housing 200 is adjacent to the eyepiece 308 of the scope 300 when fielded. The housing 200 extends both away from the tube 302, and towards the ocular lens 304 of the scope 300 with respect to an optical path of the scope 300. The mounting mechanism 402 engages the tube 302 of the scope 300 between the power ring 310 and the elevation knob 312 of the scope 300.

The electronic display 204 is adjacent to the eyepiece 308 of the scope 300, and extending both away from the tube 302, and towards the ocular lens 304 of the scope 300 with respect to an optical path of the scope 300.

Referring to FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, illustrates side views of the display assembly 120 mounted on the scope 300 of the weapon 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display assembly 120 is mounted on the scope 300, such that the electronic display 204 of the display assembly works in tandem with accessories or sensors mounted on the weapon 110. The sensors may include imaging sensors, including but not limited to thermal, night vision, mid-wave, and complementary metal-oxide semiconductors). In some embodiments, a magnified liquid crystal display or a viewfinder display is clipped side by side on the eyepiece 308 of the scope 300 with the same eye relief and focal point to the eye when operating the scope 300. In some embodiments, a prism lens at the electronic display 204 allows the user to keep the eye in the same position and comfortably observe the display without moving the eye.

In some embodiments, a live video feed from the image sensors mounted on the weapon 110, is relayed on the electronic display 204, where the live video feed is overlayed with all related targeting information at sides and top areas (range, cant, elevation, azimuth, wind speed, hold values, and ballistic parameters. In some embodiments, the circuit card 206 is configured to process images from the live video feed to reduce image tear due to weapon movements and display an electronic aimpoint on the target scene. In some embodiments, the circuit card 206 is configured to reduce scintillation blur and track a target for lead angles and tracking. An accurate aimpoint is then displayed on the electronic display 204. Such arrangements eliminate the need to automatically adjust a text font size proportional to a zoom level of the scope 300. The sniper no longer needs to manually re-adjust the text font size of the electronic display 204 to the zoom level of the scope. This reduces target engagement time and allows rapid updates and timely shots to the target.

In some embodiments, a side-by-side dual mode targeting and fire control capability is provided on the electronic display 204, where the sniper does not need to move the eyeball to watch both the ocular lens 304 and the electronic display 204.

Referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, illustrate schematic views of the electronic display 204 working in tandem with the ocular lens 304 of the scope 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 5A shows an example view 500A provided by scope 300. View 500A shows a view of a long-range target area as seen through scope 300 prior to mounting of the display assembly 120. Shooting accurately at long ranges is not as simple as lining up a crosshair 502 at a center of target 504 in target area 506. For example, the environment between scope 300 and target area 506 may include strong left crosswinds. Additionally, long-range shots need to take the effect of gravity into account, which causes a shot to drop between the weapon and the target area 506. A magnetic heading of the weapon may also affect long-range shots. A shot taken under these circumstances would drop and may lead to an inaccurate shot because of the strong crosswind and effect of gravity over the lengthy distance to the target area 506. The sniper could approximate the aimpoint based on an estimation of the strength of the left cross-wind and the distance to the target area 506. The sniper could then use the aimpoint by manually aligning the crosshair 502 above and to the left of the target 504.

As shown in FIG. 5B, to accurately hit the target in the target area 506 when using the scope 300, the sniper would need to approximate the aimpoint above and to the left of the target 504. The shooter could approximate the aimpoint based on an estimation of the strength of the left cross-wind and the distance to the target area 506. The sniper could then use the aimpoint by manually aligning the crosshair above and to the left of the target 504.

Referring to FIG. 6 , illustrates a schematic representation of a screen mirroring of the electronic display 204 on the spotter equipment 140 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The sniper can use an assisting spotter to use a ballistic computer in conjunction with electronic display 204 via the communication network 130. Here the spotter could simultaneously analyse windage, elevation, azimuth angles, tilt angles, and/or rotation (“cant”) angles in real time and instruct the sniper to orient the weapon 110 in a particular direction or order.

In use, circuit card 206 processes data associated with the orientation of the display assembly and process data associated with the orientation of the weapon. Based on the data ballistic solutions are calculated. The communication interface 212 transmits data from the circuit card 206 to the spotter equipment 140 displays the orientation of the display assembly 120, displays the orientation of the weapon 110, and displays a ballistic solution.

Referring to FIG. 7 , illustrates a front view of the display assembly 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display assembly 120 has the mounting mechanism 402 that is able to fit traditional scopes because of the retrofitting nature of the mounting mechanism 402.

In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism 402 has a circular periphery 700 with an inside diameter in a range from 30 mm to 40 mm. In some embodiments, the inside diameter is in a range from 32 mm to 38 mm. In some embodiments, the inside diameter is in a range from 34 mm to 36 mm. In some embodiments, the inside diameter is 35 mm. The mounting mechanism 402 is structured such that the inside diameter of the mounting mechanism 402 form fits an outer diameter of tube 302.

Referring to FIG. 8 , illustrates a bottom view of the display assembly 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display assembly 120 comprises a mechanism arranged between the attachment portion 400 and the housing 200 to adjust the display assembly 120 with respect to the optical path and/or the ocular lens 304. The mechanism has joints 800 and 802 supporting two degrees of freedom. In some embodiments, the mechanism is a sliding rail mechanism. In some embodiments, the mechanism is a pivot-joint mechanism.

The joint 800 is configured to adjust the display assembly 120 such that the housing 200 and/or the electronic display 204 are moved away from or towards the ocular lens 304. The joint 802 is configured to adjust the display assembly 120 such that an engagement between the housing and the attachment portion 400 can be adjusted according to the size of the tube 302 and according to the size of the eyepiece 308 as different scopes may have different dimensions and configurations. For example, scope 300 has a rectangular shape. In another example, scope 300 has a circular shape. In yet another example, the scope 300 has a square shape.

The present embodiments described herein related to the display assembly enables the sniper to shoot at a target without considering text font size. Further, the retrofitting feature of the display assembly enables the display assembly to be mountable on various traditional scopes.
